Bought it right away when you linked it for me on the other video comments :) ordered the 3in1 rx-esc and the basic 6ch rx as well. They are almost here now :)
Received my set, tried the 3in1 esc-rx, sadly it has like zero modulation. So it’s not good for crawlers. I will add my esc to use it for the C-10. Also will receive a 6ch basic rx, so I will swap it out to save some grams. The transmitter is really nice tho! (Im only missing the foam wheel…)
No idea which receiver you mean, there are numerous. Maybe check the receiver video... receiver does not make sounds, if, the radio. Maybe battery alarm? Any alarm it has to be.
I've Only Got About 60° Of Steering Servo Sweep. I Thought It Was Servo So I Swapped It Out. Same Result. Steering Trim Is Set To 100% But Still Only 60° I Put Servo On Another Channel (4) And When Toggled It Goes Full 90° Sweep Like It Should.

Hi, I was curious 🧐 can I bind it to multiple vehicles 🚗. So 1 radio for all of my cars. Also if I did buy 2 radios do they have different crystals or channels so I can run them at the same time? thanks again
Yes, of courses you can run several of those radios with several different trucks side by side. But no model memory. Still you could run simple trucks (no complicated programming) with only 1 radio.
Very detailed and well prepared review. Thanks. As you had the chance of using both the x6 and the x6pm-350, what will you recommend? Is there some cons for using the mini version comparing to the x6? Say they will be same price, same rx, will you prefer the mini or the x6?
I'd prefer the small ones. But if you're going to the field or racing 1/10, probably the large ones. Manual is way better in the new ones, much easier to understand. Not sure if the large ones do have mixed modes, never really understood, manuals extremely poor.
I will eventually build an scx24 with 4ws, a winch, and full led light kit. Will also be running furitek lizard esc with brushless motor . This seems like the perfect radio for this build. Which receiver do you recommend for my build?
I prefer the tiny 4ch with micro plugs. But if you prefer normal servo plugs buy the simple 6ch without gyro. You can decase it. If you want to use a light ontroller built in, then get the one with LC, X6DC without gyro.
Hello, Thanks for the vid, very instructive :) Btw, I’m wondering if it’s possible to adjust fan speed with channel 5 or 6… I’d like to add a fan on some crawlers but don’t want them to make noise considering there is no need to have lot of cooling ^^
Since a fan is only a motor (brushed normally) you can do this using an ESC on ch. 5 and connecting the fan to the ESC. Bit off effort - but doable ;-)
i have hooked this up to a mini drifter with the mini G receiver and im having issues adjusting or even making the gyro work i pressed the button 3 times on the receiver and the light comes on but doesnt work with the car ? and if i turn channel 5 knob it doesnt do anything
Hmmm... strange, I did not have problems in any of the gyro receiver - honestly do not know how to help. Are there two different lights on your receiver (pressing the gyro button)?
why is my steering reversed even tho the reversed steering is off on the control, it did this as soon as i connected the receiver to the esc and steering
it’s a traxxas slash 2wd i’ve connected the servo and esc in the right place but decided to switch them in the receivers channels and channel one, makes both steering and throttle go reverse idk why, maybe the receiver is messed up? how can i reset receiver
@@sserva3117 No, the receiver is not messed up. Simply use throttle and steering reverse on the radio, easy job. Traxxas does it always exactly the other way than (nearly) all other companies/brands to force people buy and use their expensive overpriced stuff. It is exactly the same in the TRX-4M for example (motor direction, servo). If your radio does not have throttle and steering reverse (but the Dumbo radio does have this), you are a kind of stucked. Reversing motor is easy, simply change polarity on the motor (either desolder wires from motor and resolder in reverse, or change polarity on motor plug (motor plug, NOT battery plug!!!)). Reversind servo is also possible, but a bit more sophisticated. You will have to open the servo, change servo motor wire polarity + change the polarity of the outer two wires of the potentiometer on the board. Easier, buy a servo reverse switch and connect it between receiver and servo. This is one reason why I do not like Traxxas ;-) - it is "typical" Traxxas, making it so difficult to use upgrade parts from other companies.
Does the radio work with 4 AA rechargeable NiMH (1.2V nominal but down to 1V/cell at the end of discharge)? Basically can the radio work with 4V supply?
I use NiMH in all my radios (which need AA or AAA), also in the X6PM-350. No issues. But I do not know if it works with 4 V, never checked. End of charge voltage of NiMH is 1,45 - 1,5 V, so a lot of energy to use down to (1.1, 1.0??? - never checked). A Lipo (not HV) has a nominal voltage of 3.7 V - and we stopp playing at 3,8 V (at least in helis and planes), ... never would run it down to 3.2 or so.
@@donaldsneffe Thanks, as soon as you apply a load the NiMH drops below 1.2V, then slowly down to 1.1 (you have to go there to recover most of the capacity). So, good to know that I can operate the radio acceptably with NiMH!!
I am a very beginner. I just want to know if these pistol grip RC transmitter works with multiple models (multiple receivers)? I think it is called memory mode. Most stick model works with multiple models and not necessary to set up for each toy more than once.
No, the DumboRC radios do not have model memory. The cheapest pistol radios I know that do have model memory are TurboRacing P32 and P52, Flysky FS-MG7, Flysky GT3C and B, Hobby Porter HP07 and LDARC CT01, all are or were available for less than 50 bucks at some time.
Does Anyone Know If It Can Be Configured For Automatic 4 Wheel Steering? Where The Steering Wheel Controls Both Axles At The Same Time? I Know You Can Use Channel 5 Knob To Do Independently Contoling The Rear Axle But Im Hoping To Do Automatic 4 Wheel Steering.
If you want only (always) 4-Wheel Steering, you can connect the two servos in parallel zu ch1, it is easy. You'll have to check with direction and maybe do mechanical adjustment... but however, this works flawlessly. But then you'll always have 4WS.

You will have to adjust servo arm etc. "mechanically".

If you connnect LEDs to plus and minus of receiver, those will get power when the receiver is powered up.
